Traveling through the Immortal Realm: Starting from Becoming a Top-Level Furnace Cauldron

When the two heard Lu Yuguan's words, they became alert instantly.

"Could it be that there is someone squatting here in this remote place stealing horses?" Zhou Zhou couldn't help but say.

"I don't think it's a human." Lu Yuguan said suddenly.

Just as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew through the woods again, causing everyone to shiver and feel uneasy.

Zhou Zhou's face finally showed a look of fear, and he said, "Master Lu, do you have any basis for what you said? Don't scare yourself."

"Brother Lu is right," Chen Xian said, squatting down to examine the half of the reins and analyzing them carefully. "The cut is rough, not like it was made by a sharp weapon. Even if someone forcibly tore it apart, they couldn't have taken the horse away so quietly and quickly."

"Since it's not caused by humans, then what else could it be?" Zhou Zhou asked in a daze.

Chen Xian looked at Zhou Zhou's face. In the darkness, only vague outlines of their faces could be seen.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, are there any ferocious beasts in the northern border?" Chen Xian asked.

"Of course," Zhou Zhou raised an eyebrow and said, "The four sects in the northern border are backed by the Tianbai Mountains, and all kinds of monsters and ferocious beasts appear endlessly. Even the ancient mythical beasts mentioned in ancient books have been found."

"Since there are ferocious beasts in the north, how can there not be ferocious beasts in Longhua?" Chen Xian looked at him dimly.

"No, it's unlikely to be a ferocious beast," Zhou Zhou shook his head. "Even if it was a ferocious beast, it wouldn't have any intelligence. If it was truly the work of a ferocious beast, the noise it made would surely have been detected by us."

"What's more, I've never seen a beast that can swallow two large horses in one breath."

When the two mentioned the ferocious beast, Lu Yuguan was reminded of the sharp-clawed wolf he had encountered in the suburbs of Kyoto.

Indeed, as Zhou Zhou said, if it is a ferocious beast like the Sharp Claw Wolf, it is indeed impossible for it to come and go without a trace.

"But if it's not caused by humans, nor by a vicious beast, then what else could it be?" Lu Yuguan looked at the two of them in confusion.

Another cold wind blew from the forest, hitting the three people's faces directly. It felt like being pricked by needles, so eerie that it made people tremble.

[Ding! An uncivilized incident has been detected]

[Quest Details: Please defeat Youmingzi and escape to Houzhuang for help]

[Mission Difficulty: Four and a Half Stars]

[Quest Reward: Spirit Refining Pill*1]

The system prompt sound suddenly sounded, and Lu Yuguan, who caught the key words, reacted suddenly.

"not good!"

Lu Yuguan instantly activated the Beginning Spring Wind, grabbed the two men's necks, and retreated several meters behind him.

shhhhh--

Before Chen Xian and Zhou Zhou could react, a pool of white powder appeared where they were standing, and a layer of the ground underneath the powder had been corroded away.

"What is this thing!?" Chen Xian shouted in panic.

"I don't know either, but at least I can be sure that the person coming here has bad intentions." Lu Yuguan stared at the depths of the woods.

"Who cares what he is? He'll be quiet after a few moves." Zhou Zhou said gritting his teeth.

The sneak attack just now caught him off guard. If Lu Yuguan had not pulled them back in time, he would have fallen to the ground unconscious.

Zhou Zhou took a half step forward angrily, and the ice-kneading technique began to work.

"Polar Ice Bird, appear!——"

In just a moment, the ice armor was completely attached to Zhou Zhou's limbs, and the ice crystal wings were tightly inserted into his back.

"Brother Zhou, calm down—"

Chen Xian was about to reach out to stop it, but it was too late.

"Ice Spin Arrow!——"

Zhou Zhou roared, and countless arrows condensed from ice crystals shot out from his enlarged wings and headed straight into the depths of the woods.

"Is this the ice-attribute offensive that Jiluan Sect is so proud of?" Chen Xian said in astonishment.

Zhou Zhou gasped and retracted his wings, but when he looked at the dark woods, the fierce attack just now seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

How is this going?

Lu Yuguan frowned tightly. Although Zhou Zhou's cultivation was not as good as his, even he did not dare to say that he could completely withstand the attack just now.

But why did those ice arrows stop making any noise once they shot into the woods?

"Damn it!" Zhou Zhou cursed.

The emergency use of spiritual power just now really consumed a lot of his energy.

"Be careful, there's something strange in this woods."

Lu Yuguan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he reminded in a deep voice.

Zhou Zhou nodded, took out a magic pill from his arms and swallowed it quickly to replenish his consumed spiritual power.

zizi...

Suddenly, a slight sound came from the front, like the sound of some insect flapping its wings.

The three of them couldn't help but become alert. They looked at each other and tacitly picked up their weapons towards the source of the sound.

Chen Xian did not rely on external forces, but on the blessing of spiritual power to attach a set of vague boxing gloves to his fists.

Lu Yuguan whispered, "Green bamboo stick." After that, the green bamboo stick quietly appeared in his hand.

Zhou Zhou looked at the weapon that suddenly appeared in surprise, but regained his composure after a moment and looked into the depths of the darkness again.

Suddenly, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if something was moving quickly.

"coming!"

Lu Yuguan shouted softly, and the three of them simultaneously adopted a defensive stance.

"Ready to fight!"

The rustling sound grew closer and closer, and finally turned into a sharp explosion.

grumble!--

"Where the hell did this thing come from?"

Chen Xian looked at the guy rushing out of the darkness and was stunned for a moment.

"What?" Lu Yuguan looked in the direction of Chen Xian's voice.

Under the dim moonlight, two pairs of huge milky white elytra were seen trembling violently, and silver powder with a corrosive smell was scattered all over the air.

The owner of this elytra is actually a giant moth!

The moth's huge eyes were pitch black, its disgusting antennae swayed gently, and its body was huge and bulky.

The most disgusting thing is that the bulging belly is exposed to the air, and you can vaguely see the shape of a horse wriggling inside.

"vomit--"

Chen Xian finally couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't help but cover his stomach and let out a shrill vomiting sound.

Just as they were distracted, the moth that was originally staring at them suddenly made a sharp cry, flapped its wings, stirred up a strong wind, and scattered the silver powder stuck on its wing elytra.

"Get out of the way, there's something weird about this thing!" Lu Yuguan shouted hurriedly.

"Is that even necessary?!" Zhou Zhou cursed and quickly waved his ice wings to dodge the silver powder.

"Ah!---" Unfortunately, Chen Xian was closest to the giant moth and was accidentally contaminated with some silver powder. He instantly became short of breath and fell to the ground with a scream.

"Brother Chen!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen!"

Seeing this, the two men broke out in cold sweats and rushed to Chen Xian's side.

When the giant moth saw someone interfering, its wings flashed strangely in the dim light and it swooped down towards Chen Xian.

"Brother Chen, step back. I'll block him for you!"

Lu Yuguan shouted and quickly swung the bamboo stick in his hand, intending to block the moth's attack route.

Zhou Zhou also released frost arrows, trying to attract the giant moth's attention.

The giant moth flipped flexibly under the swing of the bamboo stick, and avoided the frost arrows with a strange posture, then adjusted its body again and pounced on the fallen Chen Xian.

"Leave me alone—get out of here!"

Chen Xian used up his last bit of strength to say this sentence, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
